Reference Document Database (RDD) – Intro

RDD (Reference documents database) established according to the Commission Decision 2011/155/EU as legal basis

RDD is a public database hosted by ERA. It contains national technical rules and acceptable national means of compliance applied in conjunction with the authorisation of railway.

RDD also holds the classifications of rules agreed between MSs to facilitate cross acceptance.

All rules, acceptable national means of compliance and classifications are associated with parameters.

The RDD can send rules and receive status information to/from NOTIF-IT.

The RDD includes a tool for edit and viewing National Legal Frameworks for Vehicle Authorization based on Directive 2008/57/EC.

The management and publication of the content in RDD is the responsibility of the MSs.

The European Register of Infrastructure (RINF)

RINF (European Register of Infrastructure) established according to Article 49 of Directive (EU) 2016/797

It provided for transparency concerning the main features of the European Railway infrastructure. The common technical specifications are set out in a Commission Implementing Decision (Decision 2014/880/EU from 26 November 2014)

It introduces a computerised common user interface (CUI) which simplifies queries of infrastructure data. This interface, set up and managed by the Agency, is publically available.

The RINF Decision obliges each Member State to nominate an entity (NRE) in charge of setting up and maintaining its register of infrastructure and to notify an implementation plan.

A guide on the application of the common specifications for the Register of Infrastructure as well as regular user meetings organized by the Agency help NREs and infrastructure managers involved to implement the Decision.
